QUOTE (dannyboy @ Dec 30 2010, 08:06 PM) The whole issue was totally taken out of context.
Should we bring back other cruel animal 'sports'? OK then... what is cruel? Or is it only a problem if it is classified as a sport?

Dress it up as a 'sport' to make it easier to swallow. Along with 'tradition' and that it is a ****ry thing townies just don't understand.

QUOTE (Biker1 @ Dec 28 2010, 12:27 PM) May I start by stating quite categorically here that I DO NOT want to start a debate about Fox Hunting. Good luck with that then.

QUOTE (Strafin @ Dec 31 2010, 12:29 AM) I'd like to know what's cruel about some people on a horse running about in a field and then dismounting and running about a bit themselves. Any suggestion of cruelty just shows a knee jerk reaction to a story which probably hasn't been read properly. There is nothing cruel about that - which is why it isn't being debated. Chasing a fox so it can be killed by a pack of dogs is.

Chasing a fox so it can be killed by a pack of dogs is. So what's everyone's problem then? The NWN reported on a local drag hunt nothing more.

QUOTE (dannyboy @ Dec 31 2010, 01:37 AM) no typo. I don't follow. Were you trying to make a point by deliberately misspelling 'country'? (Which is the only way the filter would have kicked in.)
